Mr. Reed T is indeed gratifying to again merit a page in this splendid year-book of 1938. We feel that the excellent quality of this Mirror exemplifies the sterling character of our entire student body. As administrative directors of education in Lima we have put forth every effort to give our youthsuperior educational opportunities. In a strict sense of the word, we could not realize this desire within the realms of our own effort. True, we have been able to provide material equipment, an excellent faculty, and other educational essen- tials of a tangible nature, but all of these are to no avail without your ambi- tion to take advantage of them. It is after all, only through the strenuous work of your student body and your Wholesome cooperative attitude that We have been able to attain our ambition of maintaining a high quality of education at Central High School. This book is indicative of a span of years during which you have made your greatest strides of progress. How different it appears from a similar record of your first year in school. The contest cannot keep from revealing the magnitude of your development. lt is with a great deal of pride that we shall scan the pages of this year-book, which is after all your contribution to the many pages of history, already Written, at Central High. May we leave this thought with you in regard to your future. It is our desire that ten years hence, the citizenry of Lima may be as proud of you as they are at the present moment. We have a deep feeling that such will be the case, providing the honest effort, moral courage, and spiritual background that have come tobe yours at Central High School remain with you as a guiding incentive in your life. -J. MCLEAN REED, Superintendent School Board Mr. Gantz .Mr. Derbyshire ' Dr. Wiseley Mr. Pool Mr. Neiswcmder fel?

M t. Leach M r. Romuker N asking me to write a word for your Annual, you honor me. I appreciate and thank you for the opportunity. To you and to the student body whom you represent, I would like to make the following statement: The faculty and school authorities of your school hope that in years to come you will look back upon the time you put in Central High School as a time when you laid the foundation of your struc- ture of knowledge and culture. We hope you will have no regrets. But most of all we hope that you will haue acquired here the ability to think: to think clearly, soberly. and without prejudice. And then, as you encounter the prob- lems which you are certain to meet--and they will be hard and many-you will be able to take your stand with courage: with cz courage that has that moral quality which feels the presence of a sustaining forceg without heat, with- out malice, but with such confidence that the forces of error cannot prevail against you. A --H. W. LEACH, PRINCIPAL To be members of the student body of a modern high school is a great privilege and a wonderful opportunity for young people of high school age. That the pupils in Central High School recognize this fact is shown each year by the fine attitude of the large majority enrolled here. The many pursuits in which pupils participate, in their regular program of studies and in the numerous extra-curricular activities, reflect their eager- ness for the school life in Central. Vie find in the Weekly and Annual Mirrors many of these true reflections. It is to the Annual Mirror that it is my honor to address these few re- marks concerning the students of Central High School. In the years to come they will look through the pages of this book with mixed feelings of amuse- ment and earnest reflection upon their high school days, perhaps with the thought that these days were the happiest. As teachers it is our earnest desire to give the best we can in the way of guidance and instruction. With the fine cooperation which we continuously experience among ourselves and from the pupils, we are sure that our efforts are not in vain. -C. C. ROMAKER, Assistant Principal eleven
